No matter where the body is buried, the microbial network behind the cadaver’s decomposition remains essentially the same. Researchers from Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of ...

Researchers investigated how the process of human body decomposition affected microbial life of the surrounding soil microbiome. One factor that may play an important role is body mass index (BMI), ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Fresh plant litter inputs accelerate soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition through a ubiquitous mechanism called priming. Insufficient ...

Earth. While some genetic studies have probed the microbial communities that decompose plant matter, surprisingly, we know very little about the decomposition of vertebrates such as humans. That was ...
